I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

“When you open it, the cutesy avatar asks for a name. Then it asks for total control of your Gmail, calendar and entire computer if you're on a Mac.” Fuck no.

Sometimes I need a gif of Tracy Ullman playing Angela Merkel where she rolls her eyes so hard she falls off the couch. "You're a chancellor not a gif." www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5WP...

Hello migraine, long time no see. Not. I'm sitting here wishing for rain. I want a proper autum storm and then a week of just gentle rainfall. Instead it's sunny and warm (high 20s).
What's up with all those movie festivals following me? I get at least one or two each week.
This is immensely satisfying and soothing. www.youtube.com/shorts/WGoTp... (also the channel has 3.85 million subs! and I think that is awesome9

I never know if I should say something when I see people recommend the Pern-books without any caveats. Same with the Black Jewels-books (which I love and have this itch to reread - again).
Stromkabel vom Laptop ist anscheinend im Arsch und von den 100 Kabeln, die hier herumfliegen passt natürlich keins, weil ja jede Firma ihre ganz eigenen und speziellen Steckerbuchsen hat. Kann man sowas nicht mal vereinheitlichen?
More Skywalkers? What's next? Rey gets pregnant by Kylo's force ghost? Considering the current popularity of the Mandalorians, I would rather see more about them. But in the past. Crusaders? Neo-Crusaders? Revan? Tarre Viszla, the only Mandalorian Jedi?

Ah, the next writer where women cross their arms under or beneath their breasts. I don't think I've ever seen a woman do that because there's usually something in the way, isn't there?

Die Fielmann-Werbung mit "Brille als Spielzeug" macht mich echt sauer. Brillen sind kein Spielzeug, sondern für manche echt lebensnotwendig und in den Fällen meistens auch teuer. Auch bei Fielmann.
Covid? I'm old enough to remember flamewars via email lists leading to splits and new list being created. Archives as well. Some of these fights could go on for months with people getting dogpiled and being forced out of that section of fandom. Or even fandom overall. Really bad was racefail'09.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

You either accept bi peeps on their own terms or you don't actually accept bi people. Whoever you're dating (or aren't dating right this minute), you are who you say you are. That's what makes us friends.

Schon anders wild ... Linksextremismus früher: Anschläge, Entführungen, Fahndungsplakate auf der Poststelle. (Nicht gut, gar keine Frage) Linksextremismus heute: 👉👈🥺 Can I haz Grundgesetz und basic human rights? Da hat die 'Diskursverschiebung' ja super geklappt, was?
Kann die Angst vor der Linken schon verstehen, schaut euch doch mal Paris an oder New York, den Menschen dort geht es auf einmal besser, es gibt autofreie Straßen, mehr Grünflächen, kostenloses Schulessen, New York hat sein Defizit fast beseitigt uswusf das will doch wirklich niemand.
I cannot fathom the skill it takes to make these. 1: Make extremely good pot 2: Make extremely good tentacles 3: Attach all without fucking them up 4: Make sure they balance perfectly 5: Paint and fire without them exploding in the kiln 6: Take excellent photos Buy a pot from Rose!
